Barcelona have confirmed that Philippe Coutinho has moved to Bayern Munich for the season on a loan deal worth £19million.
The German club claimed to have agreed not to disclose financial details of the deal but Barcelona revealed all.
They announced that Bayern snapped up Coutinho for the rest of the campaign and will pay his £11million-a-year wage on top of an initial £8m fee.
Bayern also have an option to sign Coutinho on a permanent deal at any stage of the loan for £110m (€120m).
The Brazilian only moved to the Nou Camp club in January 2018 but found himself surplus to requirements this summer after dropping out of Ernesto Valverde’s first-team plans.
A statement from Barcelona said that Bayern would pay just €8.5m (£7.75m) to bring him in for the season although a separate statement from the German club contradicted this, saying: ‘The parties have agreed not to divulge the financial details of the agreement.’
